Giant Danio - (Devario aequipinnatus)
Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Giant Danio — (Devario aequipinnatus)

The Giant Danio is the largest member of the danio family and a hardy, active schooling fish that adds constant movement and shimmering color to any aquarium. With its iridescent blue and gold horizontal stripes, it’s both eye-catching and durable, making it a long-time favorite among aquarists.

Native to fast-flowing streams and rivers across India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, Giant Danios thrive in oxygen-rich, well-circulated water. They are strong swimmers and do best in long aquariums where they can dart about in a group.


🌊 Tank Setup

  • 🏠 Tank Size: Minimum 55 gallons — bigger is better for active schools.
  • 💨 Provide strong filtration and water movement to mimic river currents.
  • 🌿 Decorate with driftwood, smooth rocks, and hardy plants along the edges to leave open swimming space.
  • 💡 Bright lighting will enhance their metallic colors.

🍽️ Diet

  • 🍽️ Omnivores — accept flakes, pellets, and frozen or live foods.
  • 🦐 Will eagerly eat brine shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia, and small insects.
  • 🐟 Variety is key for optimal health and coloration.
  • 🐟 Give your fish the best with the same high-quality nutrition we use every day! 🐟 At Jason’s Plecos & Cichlids, we feed a balanced mix of protein-rich and vegetable-based fish foods to keep our plecos, cichlids, and other tropical fish healthy, active, and thriving.

⚖️ Temperament

  • 🤝 Peaceful but very active — best with other fast-moving or similar-sized species.
  • 🐟 Great dither fish for larger semi-aggressive cichlids, as they encourage shy tankmates to come out.
  • 👥 Must be kept in groups of 6 or more for natural schooling behavior.

🧠 Behavior & Care

  • 🏃 Require swimming space more than hiding spots.
  • 🚫 Not suited for slow-moving or long-finned tankmates, which they may outcompete for food.
  • 🧼 Adaptable and hardy, making them ideal for both community and river-style aquariums.
